The richest development is how those ‘bible believing’ Protestants believe in a bible that was chosen by Luther. Yep, throw out any books that are too close to Catholic doctrine, even though they were included in the Bible by the Church Fathers. Then gather a group of scribes and ‘translate’ so to ensure that no ‘catholic’ themes remain (See the KJV).

So, why did both the Geneva and KJV contain the Apocrypha if protestants were following Luther who died long before these were printed?

Considering that Luther had been a Catholic monk your version of history is particularly amusing.

In fact the “Luther Bible” came from the Textus Receptus assembled by the Dutch Catholic scholar Erasmus. Maybe you can try declaring Erasmus a Protestant in order to rescue your argument.
